Bringing the American View to the Delaware State Fair: A Call to Action for IOTC Students and Instructors

Delaware State Fairgrounds - Visit Central Delaware

Since its founding in 1919, the Delaware State Fair has celebrated everything that makes Delaware special—agriculture, family, faith, education, and community spirit. It’s the largest and longest-running fair in Delmarva, lasting 10 days and powered by a board of 80 directors and hundreds of community volunteers. For the Institute on the Constitution (IOTC), it’s the perfect place to bring our message of constitutional education, biblical principles, and civic responsibility directly to the people.

This year, IOTC has an exciting presence at the Fair—led by President Larry Mayo and Vice President Chris Rowe, both stationed on-site to represent the organization and spread the American View of Law and Government. But this isn’t just about visibility—it’s about opportunity and outreach.

Partnerships Build the Mission

By collaborating with churches, political organizations, homeschool networks, and civic groups, Larry Mayo has already been invited to speak at district meetings and introduce new audiences to IOTC’s classes and resources. Likewise, Chris Rowe is actively engaging with community leaders, influencers, and grassroots organizers, helping build momentum for the American View through meaningful conversations and real relationships.

Their shared presence on the ground is not just symbolic—it’s strategic.

Follow the example of these two pillars of IOTC. They’re not just talking about restoring the Constitutional Republic—they're doing it, one handshake and conversation at a time.

New Course: Declaration of Independence – and New Apparel to Match

We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new IOTC course focused on the Declaration of Independence—a foundational document that holds timeless truths. In honor of this launch, we’ve also added new patriotic apparel to help you wear the message and spark conversation wherever you go.

Check out our latest designs now available at the First State Freedom Store:

Declaration of Independence Tee – A powerful tribute to the words that gave birth to a nation.
250 Years of America – Celebrate a quarter-millennium of freedom as we approach 2026.
1776 Tee – A strong, simple tribute to the year that defined freedom.
The Constitution Matters Tee – Already taken the class? Wear this reminder to stand for liberty.
America est. 1776 – A bold, timeless tribute to the year our nation was born.

These shirts aren’t just about style—they’re conversation starters, tools for outreach, and a great way to support the mission.
